Baby boomers may put 'tidal wave' of 21M homes on market -- but who will buy them? | |
Catnip  User ID: 76102966  United States12/11/2019 08:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ppl that need a house will buy them.....and they will be cheap so it's a win win... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78187519 All the millennials crying about older people having everything, can now get a chance to own a home, and shuffle the boomers off the the nursing home. Older people earned what they have. They went to work every day for 30+ years and saved what was left after paying the bills. They never took the easy way out and lived in their parents basements.

No, they won't. My next-door millennials own the house but after 6 or 7 years, it's starting to fall apart. Enough snow this winter and the roof will cave in. They mow the lawn 2 or 3 times during the summer. In winter they don't bother to shovel the snow, they just walk a path to their trucks, which are snowed in (one truck no longer even runs. Vandals have broken the windows and 2 tires are flat). With 4-wheel drive they just drive over the accumulated snow in the newer truck.

"you get what you give" - you have created this reality - we (boomer) couldn't be happier. It’s amazing the false presumptions that younger generations make without asking questions or researching facts. They assume the current state of affairs is what always was in the past. I always knew my parents, grandparents and great grandparents grew up each living totally different lifestyles than when I grew up. I wonder why younger generations aren’t aware of those facts of life. Did many grow up not knowing their predecessors? When I grew up there was much too much fluoride in the water, so it couldn’t just be that. Maybe the combination of fluoride in the water over generations and the sorry state of education has caused the serious decline in intellectual ability in younger generations. I hear ridiculous, inaccurate things tv newscasters that aren’t that young (30’s - 50’s) say about political events that happened not that long (20- 45) years ago. What is even more mind boggling is how arrogant and stubborn they are in their ignorance. I know some of those younger age groups that swallow the most precursory, superficial propaganda on topics and never dig deeper nor even want to listen to additional facts, much less another point of view. Idiocracy now is not just a movie, unfortunately. Newscasters no longer report the news, they read it from prepared agendas. If you've ever noticed, national newscasters read from their scripts during the day and local newscasters read from the same script during the evening news.

Idiocracy now is not just a movie, unfortunately. True, my aunt is going in for eye injections to repair her retina hopefully some what. While she is way more the industrious person than these younger ones ever will be. Their home is paid for and was bought and paid for without a loan on it. Ours is as well, while it took us longer we doubled payments adding over $1,000.00 to each regular payment of principal payments to pay if off sooner and avoid the extra interest charges. I agree with you, I prefer the older poeple over the younger ones and always have, even for a spouse I chose the older person.  The most precious things are the simple things in life, always present in the simplest of minds. |
